Pull-out unit

The pull-out unit facilitates work during handling of picked goods on pallets. It becomes easier to access the items on the pallet and the function saves storage space.

The pull-out unit is available by default in a beam and a floor version, respectively. The beam model is intended for installation on the horizontal supporting beams in a pallet rack. In the floor version, the pull-out unit is equipped with four supporting feet in order to enable truck handling. The raised handle of the floor model facilitates extension and provides a comfortable working posture.

Reduced strain injuries

Many strain and repetitive strain injuries that are often caused during material handling can be avoided by following a couple of simple measures. The easily accessible goods and the right tool provide the workplace with an ergonomically correct design.

Increased productivity

The pull-out units bring several advantages to stock handling. Picking work becomes easier and productivity increases. The extension function allows the distance between the shelves to be smaller, which means more efficient utilisation of the overall volume of the warehouse.

KG Knutsson

The K.G. Knutsson AB trading company is a Swedish wholesaler, focusing on the automotive industry and marine accessories, which was founded in 1946.

KGK is active in all of Scandinavia with a number of well-known brands in its the assortment and it sells products primarily via a dealer network, in which the majority of the stores in the Autoexperten distribution chain are part of the KGK Group.

The background to KGK Transmission's investment in vertical storage lifts is that all the materials for service and repair of transmission are handled in racks and mezzanines. This management method results in a poor use of the premises' space, relatively many balance errors and, above all, a long processing time.

With Compact Lift vertical storage lifts and Compact Store WMS from Weland Lagersystem, the efficiency is improved in several ways;there is both a much greater certainty in the balance and, simultaneously, shorter lead times for repairs.

Premould

Premould manufactures tool and plastic parts in varying series. They stock a great many tools and so, good order, rational handling and clean and protected storage is important. The vertical storage lift stores approx. 500 tools. The vertical storage lift has 100% pull-out for the load trays, so the tools can be handled easily with an overhead crane.

By placing a Compact Lift in a “tower” outside the premises, Premould in Huskvarna has increased the storage capacity in a smart way and freed up space on the premises. Moreover, they have installed a frame in the tower for a further vertical storage lift in the future. This will considerably ease the assembly when a further lift is to be installed. The service opening in the wall is ready-to-use and temporarily closed off, to ensure minimal disruption during future installation.

Theofils

Theofils handyman stores in Jönköping, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö have a product range exceeding 9,000 articles, with a focus on furniture fittings.

When it was time to rebuild the company's warehouse in Jönköping, Compact Vertical Storage Lifts were the solution for increasing handling efficiency without any need to expand into larger premises.

After raising the roof to make it possible to fit in higher storage lifts, 2 Compact Twins and 2 Compact Lifts were installed with load trays suitable for up to 500 kg. 2,500 of the company's articles are now managed in the vertical storage lifts and they can serve the stores with daily deliveries. This results in good local service for the market, without the need for larger stocks in the stores.

Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce has a leading position in the marine market, with products and systems for commercial and military customers.

At the Automation Department, in Longva in Norway, ergonomic automation systems are designed for the control and monitoring of equipment and machinery for ships. Complying with requirements for high levels of service, operational reliability and good quality, seven vertical storage lifts 5 metres high and occupying 32 square metres have been installed, which has resulted in an optimally organised area. A shelf system for storage of small goods would have required at least 250m2 storage area.

TePe Munhygienprodukter

TePe Munhygienprodukter in Malmö manufactures, among other things, 11 million toothbrushes a year.

To cope with increased volumes, the production of toothbrushes has been moved to new premises designed for an improved flow. The store for the raw materials and semi-finished goods is placed next to toothbrush production and in between stands a Compact Lift.

The vertical storage lift is filled from the store side, and in the production area the operators fetch components according to an order specification. This saves time, since the operators don't need to look for parts in the store and the truck drivers, on the other side of the wall, can concentrate on handling the goods without any risk of incidents.

Tata Steel in Halmstad

Tata Steel delivers steel solutions to the construction and machine engineering sector, the car industry, the packaging industry, and other markets all over the world. Tata Steel also counts among the ten largest steel producers in the world.

The facility in Halmstad handles thin metal sheeting on 2,800-mm-wide loading pallets. The pallets are loaded with a forklift truck on one of the lift's sides and handled manually in the other opening. Customers order here sheet metal of a desired format and colour which is subsequently shaped in close proximity to the vertical storage lift.

The sheet metal that is not processed is returned and stored in the Compact Lift vertical storage lift.

SP Maskiner in Ljungby

In 1980, SP designed and built the world's first single-grip harvester head, SP21, which eventually led to a revolution in the professional forestry industry. SP Maskiner is currently the leading manufacturer of forestry machinery harvester heads, with a market all over the world.

SP Maskiner has a Compact Twin with double openings that allows two operators to work simultaneously. They also have a Compact Lift for small details for both production and spare parts management. This has made available large areas and created order in the management.

Getinge AB in Växjö

Getinge Disinfection in Växjö has developed its stock handling using Compact Lift.

The first vertical storage lift was installed in 2009, and in 2014 this was moved and supplemented with two new Compact Lifts. At the same time, they connected their Movex ERP system to the Compact Store WMS system in order to further increase the efficiency of picking from the store.

Garo AB in Gnosjö
